The best way to survive this economy is to do your job extremely well and add additional value. https://www.leecockerell.com
Are You Adding Value?
Are you doing what is expected of you in your job and adding value as well? or are you just meeting expectations?
One way to think about exceeding expectations is for you to think about your own performance. Do you just perform the basic expectations of your role? or do you add great value in your role as well?
What does adding value mean? I think it means that you do very good work, you are very reliable, you are accurate, you do your job, and you take on other responsibilities as well when you can.
-

I am sure that there are many more things that would cause someone to say that you add value. This list is a good starter for all of us to consider! Have a good weekend.
